First report of gynandromorphy in Hoplitis: A bilateral specimen of H. (Alcidamea) producta (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae)

This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Gorman, Mark, Best, Lincoln (2025): First report of gynandromorphy in Hoplitis: A bilateral specimen of H. (Alcidamea) producta (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae). Journal of Melittology 2025 (129): 1-10, DOI: 10.17161/jom.vi129.23384, URL: doi.org/10.17161/jom.vi129.23384 Abstract. A bilateral gynandromorph of Hoplitis (Alcidamea) producta (Cresson) is described and illustrated for the first time.

The specimen is notable for its nearly complete bilateral asymmetry and represents the first recorded case of gynandromorphism in Hoplitis. A summary of literature records on gynandromorphic bees is provided.
